That One Thing

Recently I changed my day job. The new job took two hours to get to and two hours home, everyday. That was a huge chunk out of my writing time, so I downloaded relevant apps on my phone, and worked on the bus.

As it turns out, I can write, and edit, on my phone. I can write on the bus. I can write amongst quite a high level of noise. The one time I absolutely could not write was when I was cold. If someone left the window on the bus open, and I froze, I could not do it.

I’ve heard other people say noise stops them, or smells, or the room they’re in. What is the one thing that stops you?

As for me – I work closer to home now, which is always warm and toasty.
